Peculiarities or Sea Phrases.

Take, for example, ''inboard" and
''aboard. You say of a man entering q
ship that he has gone 'aboard her." of a
boat hanging at the davits that it must be
swung 'fnboard." There is a nicely here
difficult OF discrimination, but it is fixed,
nevertheless You would not say of q
man in ship that he is ''inboard," nor
of davits thai they must be Slowed
aboard So of ''aft" and ''abaft." They
both mean the same thing, but they are
Tot applied in the same way. A man is
aft when he is On the quarter deck or
poop You could not say he is ''abaft. ~
But suppose him TO be beyond the mizzen-
mast, you would say che is standing just
abaft the mizZenmast, " not ''he is stand
ing aft it, Peculiarities of expression
abound in sea language to degree not to
be paralleled by the eccentricities of other
vocational dialects. A man who sleeps in
his bunk or hammock all night or through
his watch on deck ''lies I'M or sleeps in. ~
But neither is applicable if he sleeps
through his watch below.-W. Clark Rus

A STUDY In Shoes.

1t Is to be feared, on the whole, that the

Winter Railroading in Dakota.

Railroads are not seriously inconveni-
enced by snow in this part of the country,
for they know how to take care of it. Up
in Dakota, where it drifts and banks up
on the track is where the delays occur. |
remember an engine that was covered en-
tirely for eleven days. We kept fire
going in the furnace all the time, and by
that way finally got out of the snow. One
of the dangers that have to be watched
during such weather as the present is the
swapping of rails. But, considering the
number of steel rails in use. those that
are broken by the cold are exceedingly
few, and the break is SO small-generally
a few inches-that the cars pass over it
without being derailed. remember of a
break where three foot piece Of rail was
broken off and fell to one side. A train
passed over the ties and continued on
without interruption. Then, again, there
was long train of empty freight cars
that was derailed, and, as the ground was
fiat and hard were pulled about 200
yards away from the track before stop
ping. There was great trouble expert
enced in getting them back TO the track

them rom accepting what they regard as

The War in Sumatra.

The hoStilities that have been going on
more or less in the northern part of SUI
matra for the last thirteen years between
the Dutch and the Achinese are no nearer
than ever to a conclusion. Acheen is the
principal native sovereignty on the island.
and has kept its indenendence against Eu-
ropean efforts to subjugate it for nearly
four centuries. Through great part OF
the time commercial treaties have been
maintained with the sultan of Acheen by
European occupants of the island, but the
piracies INDUCED in by his people and his
alleged violation of faith have of late
greatly exasperated the Dutch. An expe-
dition sent from the Netherlands in 1873
to crush the Achinese was defeated with
much loss. Since then the war has been
prosecuted with varying success. OF late
the natives have begun to smuggle in rifles
and even artillery, so that they have put
the coast fort at Segh under seige. The
Dutch troops also suffer severely from dis
ease Altogether Sumatra has cost the
Netherlands much in money and men,
with prospect now of costing much more.

Although many arrests have been

Hard Drinking in High Society.

The hard drinking that is INDUCED in in
high society must be something quite
huge. ! have not been to the opera this
season without finding the boxes dotted
with young men whose condition ran the
galnut from babbling foolishness to stupid
sleepiness. The lobby, between the acts,
would be full CT them, Zigzagging to and
from 1.-The cooler" as they facetiously
term the barroom. The contingent that
society sends TO the BIC balls is by far the
most riotous that you can find there, and [
hear of number of scaudalouS exhibitions
Of inebriety at private balls and parties.
On one occasion, especially, two pronni-
neIt youngsters, who reeled into ball at
Delrnonico's, we're elected by the floor
committee. On another q dinner party at
a dude club resulted sadly to the marring
Of the walls Of the dining room by the
ediDles, which the merry roysterers CON
verted into missiles in the eXuberance Of
their vinous humT.
Nor is it the sterner sex alone that
claims the attention Of the Blue Ribbon
league. The number Of society women
who look upon the champagne when it
bubbles is apparently on the increase.
There is bab5le after every entertainment
Of Miss KS or Mrs. Us open devotion to
the cup, end stories are rife at the clubs
OF the indiscretiOns into which their appe-

traordinary amount Of drinking done at
the places popular for ladies lunches, and
most Of the swell milliners, am assured,
provide literally against the thirst of their
natrons.-Alfred Trumble in New York

Chinese Theatre Orchestra.

The orchestra is usually composed Of
seven musicians, who sit at the back of
the stage and play without much inter
mission from the beginning TO the end Of
the performance The leading instru
ments are the fiddle, the cymbals, the
gong and the drum. The fiddle tyran-
nizes over the rest Of the music, and rises
superior even to the clash Of the cymbals.
II has only single string, and the notes
evolved from il pierce the ear like knife.
The man that performs upon the fiddle
alternates with the cynbals, while his
next neiShbor beats, in rbythnical meas
ure, on a huge brGzen gong, which is
pendent from the ceiling The other per-
formers play upon drums, one Of metal
and the other Of polished wood. The
music is said to bear a striking resen1-
blance to that Of the Egyptians. II is all
in the minor key, end from distance it
has weird and melancholy sound. Heard
near at hand, however, it has q tendency
to produce headache and to rasp tho
nervcs.-George II. Fitch in The Cosmo-

Monkeys, Susceptibility to Tears.

If monkeys are susceptible of laughter
and of manifesting delight, they are also
capable of showing sorrow and OF weep
ing. Humboldt says the saimiri OF Peru
are extremely sensitive, and that at the
least cause OF chagrin their eyes fiji with
tears It has been asserted, on the other
hand, that savaess are Incapable OF weep
ing. This assertion, according to Houzeau,
is contradicted by numerous observations.
Hottentots have been seen 70 weep, as
well as American Indians and the natives
of Tahiti. However, the susceptibility to
tears seems TO diminish, pari passu, with
sociality and sensibility in the human
family; per contra, real tears have been
observed among dogs, deer and gazelles.
Here another supposed characteristic OF
man disappears.-Henry Howard in Cos

non-smokers outdistanced the others by
